“…Dressings do not need to be sterile, just clean. 6 Sterile dressings are expensive and unnecessary. Coban tape off the roll is a good clean dressing that can be directly applied over grease on fingers and leg wounds.…”

SummaryPlastic surgeons are medicine’s wound experts. Many of the world’s poor cannot afford expensive wound management programs. All humans suffer open and closed wounds at some point in their life and must look after them. The purpose of this paper is to provide basic information to the public in very simple terms on how to safely and inexpensively manage wounds. This paper is directed to all nonmedical people, medical students, and other doctors who may not be content experts in this field.

“…Orthopedic trauma is a common type of trauma in clinic, which includes not only bone trauma, but also skin, muscle and other soft tissue trauma injuries, such as no good treatment and nursing after trauma, or can cause a series of complications such as fever, infection, venous thrombosis, and even death. [16,17] VSD plays an important role in the treatment of orthopedic trauma infection, with the following advantages: [18] It can reduce the work intensity, thus preventing cross infection; Under negative pressure, it can suck out bacteria, accumulate blood and necrotic tissue, and avoid wound infection; It is beneficial to the growth of healthy granulation; Negative pressure is not conducive to the viability of bacteria. The application of VSD technology has expanded to a variety of wounds caused by trauma.…”

To explore the effect of individualized comfortable nursing on prognosis of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) in patients with orthopedic trauma. 110 patients with orthopedic trauma VSD were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, with 55 patients in each group receiving routine care and comfortable care. The wound healing time, visual analog scale, quality of life score, the level of inflammatory factors, the incidence of complications, and patient satisfaction were compared between the 2 groups. The average time of wound healing in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < .01). The satisfaction rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P = .029). Meanwhile, the results showed that visual analog scale and quality of life scores in the observation group was significantly improved than that of the control group after receiving intervention (P < .05). After receiving intervention, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 of patients in both groups were decreased, and the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the observation group were significantly decreased than those in the control group. Moreover, the incidence rate of adverse reaction in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < .01). Comfortable nursing can reduce the wound healing time, the postoperative pain level, the incidence of complications, and improve patient satisfaction, which is of great significance for the prognosis of VSD in patients with orthopedic trauma.

“…Regarding the control of clinical signs of wound infection, both formulations were effective, although in vitro studies only describe 10% papain as a bactericidal and bacteriostatic agent (Sibbald, Woo, Ayello, 2006). There is no consensus in application of a clean or sterile technique for wound care (acute and chronic) (Kent et al, 2018;Wound, Ostomy and type of clinical complications were observed during the applications, such as damage to the newly formed tissue, pain, bleeding or regression in evolution of the wound. Thus, the hydrogel was able to grant autonomy to the patients, enabling self-care, as they were able to change the daily dressings without the help of a health professional.…”

Hydrogels are used for wound treatment, as they may contain one or more active components and protect the wound bed. Papain is one of the active substances that have been used with this purpose, alongside urea. In this paper, carboxypolymethylene hydrogels containing papain (2% and 10% concentrations) and urea (5% concentration) were produced. Physicalchemical stability was performed at 0, 7, 15 and 30 days at 2-8ºC, 25ºC and 40ºC, as well as the rheological aspects and proteolytic activity of papain by gel electrophoresis. Clinical efficacy of the formulations in patients with lower limb ulcers was also evaluated in a prospective, single-center, randomized, double-blind and comparative clinical trial. The results showed 7-day stability for the formulations under 25ºC, in addition to approximately 100% and 15% of protein activity for 10% and 2% papain hydrogel, respectively. The rheological profile was non-Newtonian for the 10% papain hydrogel tested. There were no significant differences regarding the mean time for healing of the lesions, although 10% papain presented a better approach to be used in all types of tissue present in the wound bed.
